(606)  PERCY/CHURCH OF SCOTLAND CASE SETTLED

Helen Percy’s sex discrimination claim against the Church of Scotland in respect of her suspension as a minister in 1997 was settled for an undisclosed sum on 24 October 2006, just as employment tribunal proceedings were about to begin in Dundee.  Earlier, the case had reached the House of Lords, which had decided that Ms Percy did have a contract of employment with the Church (see No 525).
